How much will I pay as a fee-paying student?

Each year the University determines a range of fees for particular subject areas grouped by topic codes. The subject areas determine how much you will be charged for each of the topics you study. View the fee-paying student tuition fees.

At Flinders University, a full-time student is expected to complete 36 units of study each year. This typically equates to enrolling in 4 topics per semester (8 topics per year), as most topics are worth 4.5 units each.

To calculate the cost of each topic, multiply the fee per unit for the relevant topic code by the number of units for the topic. See the Postgraduate Coursework Tuition Fee calculator for more information.

Am I eligible to defer fees?

Australian citizens, Australian permanent humanitarian visa holders, and some New Zealand citizens who have been long-term residents of Australia since childhood and meet particular eligibility criteria (see the Study Assist website for details) are eligible to defer fees via FEE-HELP. FEE-HELP may be used to defer part or all of the fee-paying tuition fees each semester by completing a Request for FEE-HELP assistance form during enrolment before the census date.

New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents, other than Australian permanent humanitarian visa holders, are not eligible to defer fees, and must pay tuition fees upfront each semester.

New Zealand citizens and permanent residents are not eligible to defer fees, and must pay tuition fees upfront each semester. Some New Zealand citizens who have been long-term residents of Australia since childhood and meet particular eligibility criteria (see the Study Assist website for details) are eligible to defer fees.

Does the student services and amenities fee apply to me?

As a general principle it is expected that all students will pay this fee irrespective of course or course level. However some exceptions may apply, please refer to student services and amenities for additional details.
